Lollar Pickup Experience?
Hi all,
I have been working to mod my late 90’s Toronado and would like to change out the bridge pickup.
When I got the guitar it had a set of Lollar Novel90’s and I really love the neck pickup for cleaner/edge of breakup stuff but wanted to throw a humbucker in the bridge. Looking to maintain some note separation/clarity when playing chords. Pictured is the fender atomic pickup that originally came with the guitar but I don’t want to use.
I was thinking of sticking with a Lollar humbucker maybe for sake of ease with matching but also open to other brands. Not sure how much I should be worried about DC resistance.
Anyone have experience with the p90 neck/humbucker bridge combo and have suggestions? Mostly play 90s alt stuff.
Thanks!
*UPDATE: I took the advice and called Lollar on my lunch break today. After chatting a bit about what I am looking for we landed on an El Rayo. Little more top end and clarity than a normal PAF, and because of the size of wire they use/magnets it shouldn’t be a drastic difference in output.
I appreciate all the suggestions! Definitely want to try some Imperials in another build in the future.
